Lyrics
I could dance
I am capable of dancing.
I could dance for you
I could perform a dance specifically for you.
In my dress
While wearing my dress.
In my dancing shoes
Wearing my dancing shoes.
I could put on a show
I can put on an impressive show.
The best show for you babe
A show that I consider the best for you, my love.
Don't you blink don't miss a second of
Advising not to blink and to fully experience the magic created for you.
This magic made for you
Expressing the uniqueness and personal touch of the performance.
I could dance
I can dance.
I could dance alone
I can dance even if alone.
But I really wish that you were watching
Expressing a desire for the person to watch the dance.
Watch me as i go down
Suggesting a captivating performance with the phrase "watch me as I go down."
I could dance
Reiteration of the ability to dance.
And you could spin me around
Inviting the person to spin the dancer around.
I want your eyes to burn through me
Expressing a desire for intense, penetrating gaze during the dance.
And I'ma keep you locked down
Commitment to keeping the person captivated and engaged.
I've been praying
Expressing that prayers have been made.
Mama knows that I've been praying
Acknowledgment that the speaker's mother is aware of the prayers.
I've been praying for you
Revealing the subject of the prayers—expressing a wish related to the person.
I've been praying
Repetition of the statement about praying.
Mama knows that I've been praying
Confirmation that the speaker's mother is aware of ongoing prayers.
But my wishes don't come true
Conveying a sense of disappointment or realization that wishes may not come true.
Do they babe
Rhetorical question questioning the realization of wishes.
Mama knows that I've been praying
Reiteration that the speaker's mother is aware of prayers.
Baby, I
